GeForce Experience 2.0 Released: Introduces Desktop Capture & More

Since its release last year, GeForce Experience has been installed on over 35 million GeForce GTX PCs. On each of those systems GeForce Experience optimizes game settings for peak performance, automatically downloads the latest drivers and game profiles, streams games to NVIDIA SHIELD, and enables players to capture in-game action with GeForce ShadowPlay, which has now recorded over 4 million clips for GeForce Experience users.

Today, we are releasing GeForce Experience 2.0, a major update that introduces ShadowPlay desktop capture, advanced Twitch streaming controls, ShadowPlay for notebooks, and SHIELD GameStream support for notebooks. This expansive update enables the capture of any game in Windows, gives streamers complete control over their feeds, enables fullscreen gameplay capture on notebooks, and enables GeForce GTX notebooks to stream gameplay to NVIDIA SHIELD, just like desktops.

ShadowPlay Desktop Capture

With the launch of GeForce Experience 2.0 we’re extending ShadowPlay’s capture capabilities to the desktop, enabling footage to be recorded or streamed from windowed games, borderless windowed games, and from the desktop itself. In addition to ensuring seamless capture from champion select to in-game action in League of Legends, desktop capture also enables the recording of OpenGL, Java, and web-based games in windowed mode, borderless windowed mode, and borderless fullscreen mode. In other words, you can now capture gameplay from Minecraft, OpenGL Unity games, older games, popular indie games, and anything else you can think of. You can even create video tutorials in Windows.

These capabilities also extend to Twitch streaming, enabling uninterrupted League of Legends broadcasts, and broadcasts of any game run in windowed mode. To enable desktop capture for local recordings and Twitch broadcasts, update to GeForce Experience 2.0, install the new GeForce 337.50 beta drivers, and ensure Windows Aero mode is enabled. Desktop capture is disabled by default; to enable the feature, go to Preferences -> ShadowPlay, and check "Allow desktop capture".

ShadowPlay For Notebooks (Beta)

Now notebook gamers can capture their greatest gaming moments everywhere they go, with GeForce Experience 2.0 and its new GeForce Shadowplay updates. All of the most popular features are available to Kepler and Maxwell based GTX notebooks, including Shadow mode capture and Twitch streaming. This year's thin, light, powerful GeForce GTX 800M gaming notebooks are fully supported, as are GTX 700M GPUs and select GeForce GTX 600M GPUs.

GeForce Experience 2.0 includes a few further changes for Twitch, too. A new Twitch streaming hotkey has been introduced, enabling the pausing and resuming of broadcasts; Twitch streams will now automatically be tagged with the game’s name; Twitch streams now retain capture aspect ratio; microphone capture audio quality has been further improved; and 16:10 1920x1200 native resolution capture is now supported.

Remote GameStream Beta enables you to enjoy PC games from anywhere in the Wi-Fi connected world.
